Re: Msword 2016 and sounds

I think someone may have answered this for you but jus incase they did not
There will be several group options
Arrow down to ease of access and tab until you here sounds and check the box and tab over until you here the ok button.
I know in the older versions of word you had to download a sounds file from Microsoft.
I am not sure if you have to do that anymore.
I hope this helps you.

These sounds are enabled by turning on the Office Sounds. In Word, go to the File menu, then options. When the dialog opens, arrow down to the Ease of Access options, then tab over to where all the setting choices are. The first option is a checkbox to enable the sounds. Check if this got turned off somehow. I just started using this feature and am still not sure what all the sounds mean, but kind of like it. I will note that, from my little test, I only get the sound if I select some text and then hit delete, but not if I delete character by character.

According to the manual, the "white Easy-Switch" keys are F1, F2, and F3. Hold one of them down for a few seconds, then press either FN+I for iOS, FN+O for Mac OS, or FN+P for Windows or Android,then pair your device according to that operating system's standard pairing procedures. To switch among paired devices, just hold down F1, F2, or F3 for about three seconds, and connection should take place.

Re: accessibil password generators
Angel
Another suggestion, which has worked for me over
the years, regarding pass words. It is particularly useful, as older
people using these pass word generators might suffer memory problems, as does my
elder sister. Who now has to have her son assist her with the simplest
of being able to access sites. Which require the use of pass
words. I use a single pass word for all my accessing. With different
prefixes or suffixes. Particular to the site which I wish to access.
So, should one discover my pass word, it would be most difficult to determine
the individual prefix or suffix I have chosen for that site. If this list
required a pass word, for example, I might use my individual pass word, plus the
suffix MJfwDS. The first part being the initials of the list itself, the
DS being the initials of the first owner of the officially endorsed list by
Freedom Scientific, Debbie Scales. Who would figure that one out?
Yet, it would be something I would easily remember. As Debbie Scales
performed, for we blind Jaws users, such a fine service. Seeking and
discovering all sorts of free to use programs. Which were accessible for
us blind individuals to utilize. To make our lives easier. So we
wouldn't have to find them ourselves.

It's far from dying, too, in fact it's picked up steam since this organizational split. All of the above being said, there are quite a few different e-mail clients out there, but the two that are really commonly used and have good accessibility on a consistent basis have been MS-Outlook and Thunderbird.
